a1–a4 Superconductor with correlated disorder. Color density plot with the spatial distribution of the gap function Δ1i (a1) and Δ2i (a2) for the strong and the weak band, respectively, at temperature \(T=0.9\,{T}_{c}^{(0)}\). a3 temperature dependence of the sample-averaged gap function \({\bar{\Delta }}_{\nu }\) for the strong band ν = 1 (red) and the weak band ν = 2 (blue), showing results for the cases when strong band is disordered (filled circles) and in its clean limit (empty circles). a4 Homogeneous contribution \({\Delta }_{2}^{(0)}\) to the gap in weak band ν = 2, compared between numerical calculations (circles) and estimates using Eq. (7). b1–b4 Superconductor with 1D superstructure. Color density plot with the spatial distribution of the gap function Δ1i (b1) and Δ2i (b2) at temperature \(T=0.9\,{T}_{c}^{(0)}\). b3 Temperature dependence of the sample-averaged gap function \({\bar{\Delta }}_{\nu }\) for the strong band ν = 1 (red) and the weak band ν = 2 (blue), showing results for the cases when strong band is disordered (filled circles) and in its clean limit (empty circles). b4 Homogeneous contribution \({\Delta }_{2}^{(0)}\) to the gap in weak band ν = 2, compared between numerical calculations (circles) and estimates using Eq. (7). c1–c4 Superconductor with 2D superstructure. Color density plot with the spatial distribution of the gap function Δ1i (c1) and Δ2i (c2) at temperature \(T=0.9\,{T}_{c}^{(0)}\). c3 Temperature dependence of the sample-averaged gap function \({\bar{\Delta }}_{\nu }\) for the strong band ν = 1 (red) and the weak band ν = 2 (blue), showing results for the cases when strong band is disordered (filled circles) and in its clean limit (empty circles). c4 Homogeneous contribution \({\Delta }_{2}^{(0)}\) to the gap in weak band ν = 2, compared between numerical calculations (circles) and estimates using Eq.
